Avila in Boston Is Closing

A Mediterranean restaurant on the edge of Boston's Theatre District is closing this weekend.

The Boston Hospitality and Tourism Industry Blog is reporting that Avila on Charles Street South is shutting its doors for good after business hours on Saturday, with no indication of what might replace the eatery at this point. The article mentions that Avila is part of the Davio's restaurant group, which has locations of that dining spot in Boston and Chestnut Hill, as well as an upcoming branch in Lynnfield.

Avila has featured such items as steamed mussels, tuna tartare, gnocchi, tagliatelle bolognese, braised short ribs, and chicken under a brick on its menu.
